    Permit Report 13-034 November 20, 2013 Board Meeting

    Applicant: Tom Becken Applicant Contact: Alex Olin TCC Materials TCC Materials 2025 Centre Pointe Blvd. Suite 300 2025 Centre Point Blvd. Suite 300 Mendota Heights, MN 55120 Mendota Heights, MN 55120 Description: Sign Installation Stormwater Management: None District Rule: EWetland Management Disturbed Area: 0 Acres Impervious Area: 0 Acres PERMIT FINDINGS: Applicant proposes to install a sign at the corner of Arlington and Trout Brook Circle. The sign posts are to be installed within a wetland. Wetland Management Rule E requires all wetland losses to be replaced at a ratio of 2:1, and the de minimis is zero. The sign posts will have a combined foot print of approximately 8 square inches. The wetland habitat functions and value will not be negatively impacted by the proposed sign posts. There will be no wetland improvement by requiring 16 square inches of replacement wetland and it is not technically feasible to accurately delineate wetland boundaries at this level of detail. The applicant requests a variance from the wetland replacement requirements of Wetland Management Rule E. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve requested variance to allow installation of a new sign and 8 square inches of wetland fill

    1. Apex Auto Soil Infiltration Site Assessment Memo, by Westwood, dated 10/30/2013, Recd. 10/31/2013.

    2. Project summary memo (includes narrative, HydroCAD modeling, and Volume Control Worksheet), by Westwood, dated 09/27/2013, Recd. 10/31/2013.

    3. Schematic Design Plans (sheets C1-C4), by Westwood, dated 10/25/2013, Recd. 10/31/2013.

    HISTORY & CONSIDERATIONS: At this time, Apex Auto is only redeveloping the west portion of the site which is less than 1.0 acres. However, the design also allows for further development of the east portion of the property in the future which constitutes a common plan of development and would exceed 1.0 acres of land disturbance. RULE C: STORMWATER MANAGEMENT

    Standards Proposed discharge rates for the 2-, 10-, and 100-year events shall not exceed

    existing rates. Developments and redevelopments must reduce runoff volumes in the amount

    equivalent to an inch of runoff from the impervious areas of the site.

  • W:\07 Programs\Permitting\2013\13-036 Apex Auto\13-036 Permit_Review_01.doc Page 2 of 4

    Stormwater must be pretreated before discharging to infiltration areas to maintain the long-term viability of the infiltration area.

    Developments and redevelopments must incorporate effective non-point source pollution reduction BMPs to achieve 90% total suspended solid removal.

    Findings 1. A hydrograph method based on sound hydrologic theory is used to analyze

    runoff for the design or analysis of flows and water levels. 2. Runoff rates for the proposed activity do not exceed existing runoff rates for

    the 2-, 10-, and 100-year critical storm events. Stormwater leaving the project area is discharged into a well-defined receiving channel or pipe and routed to a public drainage system.

    3. Stormwater runoff volume retention is not achieved onsite in the amount equivalent to the runoff generated from one inch of rainfall over the impervious surfaces of the development.

    a. The amount of proposed impervious onsite is 61,045 square feet. b. Volume retention: Volume Retention Required (cu. ft.) Volume Retention Provided (cu. ft.)

    4,574 cf None, filtration is proposed.

    c. Filtration is proposed due to poor soils and potential historic site contamination:

    Volume Retention Required (cu. ft.) Volume Retention Provided (cu. ft.)5,945 cf Underground filter 11,681

    cf

    d. Banking of excess volume retention is not proposed. e. Filtration volume and facility size has not been calculated using the

    appropriate hydrological soil group classification and design filtration rate.

    f. The filtration area is capable of filtrating the required volume within 48 hours.

    g. Stormwater runoff is not adequately pretreated to remove solids before discharging to infiltration areas, additional detail is required.

    4. Best management practices achieve 90% total suspended solids removal on an annual basis.

    5. A recordable executed maintenance agreement has not been submitted.

    RULE D: FLOOD CONTROL Standards Compensatory storage shall be provided for fill placed within the 100-year

    floodplain. All habitable buildings, roads, and parking structures on or adjacent to a

    project site shall comply with District freeboard requirements.

  • W:\07 Programs\Permitting\2013\13-036 Apex Auto\13-036 Permit_Review_01.doc Page 3 of 4

    Findings 1. There is no floodplain on the property according to FEMA. 2. It is unknown if all habitable buildings, roads, and parking structures on or

    adjacent to the project site comply with CRWD freeboard requirements. RULE E: WETLAND MANAGEMENT Standard

    Wetlands shall not be drained, filled (wholly or in part), excavated, or have sustaining hydrology impacted such that there will be a decrease in the inherent (existing) functions and values of the wetland.

    A minimum buffer of 25 feet of permanent nonimpacted vegetative ground cover abutting and surrounding a wetland is required.

    Findings 1. There are no known wetlands located on the property.

    RULE F: EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL

    Standards A plan shall demonstrate that appropriate erosion and sediment control

    measures protect downstream water bodies from the effects of a land-disturbing activity.

    Erosion Control Plans must adhere to the MPCA Protecting Water Quality in Urban Areas Manual.

    Findings 1. Erosion and sediment control measures are not consistent with best

    management practices, as demonstrated in the MPCA manual Protecting Water Quality in Urban Areas.

    2. Adjacent properties are protected from sediment transport/deposition. 3. Wetlands, waterbodies and water conveyance systems are protected from

    erosion/sediment transport/deposition. 4. Project site is greater than 1 acre; an NPDES permit is required.

    RULE G: ILLICIT DISCHARGE AND CONNECTION

    Standard Stormwater management and utility plans shall indicate all existing and

    proposed connections from developed and undeveloped lands for all water that drains to the District MS4.

    Findings 1. New direct connections or replacement of existing connections are not

    proposed. 2. Prohibited discharges are not proposed.

    DATE: November 14, 2013 TO: CRWD Board of Managers FROM: Bob Fossum, Water Resource Project Manager RE: Victoria Park Hydrology Study Background The City of St. Paul plans to develop the new Victoria Park over the next several years. Victoria Park will be on the site of the former Koch-Mobile Tank Farm. The District has previously been involved in this project by issuing stormwater, erosion control and wetland permits to allow filling of the site. At the August 3, 2011 Board Meeting, the Managers approved a planning grant for the Victoria Park Hydrology Study for an amount not to exceed $50,000. This initiative falls under the District goal of Bringing Water Back. The District has engaged EOR, Inc. to complete a hydrology study of the site and on November 19, 2012 draft Water Feature Concepts were reviewed with the Managers.. Issues The City of Saint Paul has created and convened a Victoria Park Advisory Group. The charge of the group is to develop a Master Plan for Victoria Park based on input from the community. The first meeting was held on September 17, 2012 and the ninth and final meeting will be December 3, 2013. Alice Messer with City of St. Paul Parks and Recreation will review the draft Master Plan with the Managers. Staff will discuss next steps and how the District most effectively offers comment on this draft Master Plan.

    3. Revise pond outlet #4 in the HydroCAD model. Currently, the filtration draintile is modeled as a 6-inch

    irifice which results in a flow rate of 1.73 cfs during the 100-year event. Assuming a 1.0 in/hr filtration

    rate, however, results in a peak filter flow of 0.1 cfrs based on a filter area of 4.546 square feet. Adjust high water and overflow elevations as necessary.

    IV. Special Reports

    A) Summary and Analysis of Water Quality Data from the Capitol Region Watershed Districts Stormwater Monitoring Program, 2005-2012, Benjamin D.Janke, Ph.D, University of Minnesota

    (Suppes)

    Mr. Fossum introduced Dr. Jacques Finlay and Dr. Ben Janke from the University of Minnesota. Since 2005,

    CRWD has been collecting and analyzing water quality data through the District Monitoring Program. CRWD

    determined that additional analysis of the robust data set was needed to identify long-term trends. In January

    2013, CRWD contracted with Dr. Finlay and Dr. Janke at the University of Minnesota to perform additional

    analyses of CRWD monitoring data. The final deliverable by Dr. Janke is a comprehensive report titled

    Summary and Analysis of Water Quality Data from CRWDs Stormwater Monitoring Program, 2005-2012.

    The objectives of the analyses and report were to:

    (1) Investigate spatial and seasonal patterns in water yields and concentrations of nutrient and metals (2) Understand the impact of storm even characteristics (e.g. rainfall depth, antecedent dry days or rainfall)

    on loading of water and nutrients

    (3) Investigate the impact on water and nutrient loading of differences in land cover and drainage characteristics among monitored sub-watersheds

    (4) Determine exceedence probabilities of water yields and nutrient loads (5) Quantify probabilities and seasonality of metal toxicity exceedences

  • Our Mission is to protect, manage and improve the water resources of Capitol Region Watershed District

    The primary goals of these analyses were to better understand water and nutrient loading patterns in the

    watershed, inform the design of future stormwater BMPs, and aid in the development of TMDLs or water

    quality goals for the CRWDs lakes and streams. The analyses provide methods that may be used to compare future monitoring seasons to data from the summary period (2005-2012). A summary has also been compiled of

    major patterns in spatial and seasonal variability among monitored sub-watersheds, which may help identify

    seasons and/or specific sub-watersheds or BMPs that may be crucial for managing water quality in the CRWD.

    Dr. Janke reported that the data confirms that the majority of phosphorus and sediment loading is the result of

    storm flow in CRWD. Surprisingly, the majority of nitrogen loading can be attributed to baseflow. Statistical

    analysis of cumulative frequency distribution indicated BMPs in the watershed are performing as designed and

    are reducing runoff volumes. Data analyzed from CRWD indicates about 80-85% of the rainfall events are 1

    inch or less and 60-65% of the runoff volume is contained in storms 1 inch or less. Dr. Janke pointed out that

    CRWDs monitoring data set is very extensive and is being noted by other researchers across the nation.

    B) Statistical Analysis of Lake Data in the Capitol Region Watershed District, Joe Bischoff, Wenck

    Associates, Inc. (Eleria)

    Ms. Eleria introduced Joe Bischoff with Wenck Assocaites, Inc. In early January 2013, CRWD hired Wenck

    Associates, Inc. to conduct a more in-depth analysis of the four CRWD lakes water quality data collected by

    Ramsey County to better understand temporal, seasonal and climatic trends and the factors driving these trends.

    Specifically, CRWD sought answers to several questions for each of the lakes including: 1) Is the lake water

    quality data generally getting better or worse; 2) What are the trends; and 3) What factors are driving these

    trends.

    Mr. Bischoff reviewed statistical and graphical analysis of CRWD lake water quality data, trend analysis of

    selected water quality parameters, and a qualitative assessment of potential trend drivers. The Board reviewed

    and commented on the draft technical memorandum summarizing the results and recommendations for further

    analysis and monitoring.

    V. Action Items A) AR: Approve Minutes of the October 16, 2013 Regular Meeting (Sylvander)

    B) AR: Approve Contract Amendment #4 with Wench Associates Inc. for the Highland

    Ravine Project (Eleria)

    Ms. Eleria reviewed in early November 2012, CRWDs Board of Managers approved Wenck Associates as the engineer for the Highland Ravine Stabilization Project for an original contract amount of $45,476. To date,

    CRWD has approved three contract amendments for additional engineering work at cost of $8,110 for a total

    engineering budget of $53,586. The additional work included stabilization designs for ravines discovered during

    field work, addressing another round of comments, and covering other design changes that were outside the

    original scope of work.

    Due to the expanding scope of the project and the complexities of working with private property owners,

    Wenck has exceeded the engineering budget and seeks additional funds to cover portion of the unpaid expenses

    to date and the remaining tasks including finalizing the stabilization plans for all ravines, completing the

  • Our Mission is to protect, manage and improve the water resources of Capitol Region Watershed District

    contract documents, assisting CRWD with easements/agreements, and bidding. Wenck is requesting $7,634 to

    complete the engineering work.

    Currently, the Wenck contract deadline is December 31, 2013, which needs to be extended through 2014.

    CRWD staff anticipates all plans will be completed and easements/agreements secured in February 2014. The

    project will go out for bid in March 2014 and construction will commence in summer 2014.

    Motion 13-204: Approve Contract Amendment #4 for Wenck Associates, In.c for the Highland Ravine

    Stabilization Project in an amount not to exceed $7,634.00 for a total budget not to exceed $61,220 and a

    contract deadline of December 31, 2014.

    C) AR: Establish the Monitoring, Research and Maintenance Division (Doneux)

    Administrator Doneux reviewed Minnesota Statue 103D.325, Subdivision 1 provides the District with

    employment authority and states that the CRWD Board of Managers may employ a chief engineer, professional

    assistants, and other employees, and provide for their qualifications, duties, and compensation. The District

    recognizes the need to regularly evaluate and assess staff size, skills and structure. Since the District first

    started hiring employees with the Administrator position in 2003, the staff organizational structure has been flat.

    All employees report directly to the Administrator.

    Over time staff organized around the monitoring and BMP maintenance has grown in numbers with 5.5 FTE

    working in this area currently. Because of this growth and need to provide more direct supervision for these

    staff, Administrator Doneux feels there is benefit in establishing functional Divisions as an organizational tool

    to provide enhanced and more direct staff supervision, training and mentoring. In addition to the District

    benefit, staff desires the opportunity to grow and gain management experience at CRWD. Establishing

    functional units (Division) within the Districts staff structure recognizes the benefit for both staff and the District to provide professional advancement for staff to strengthen the organization, reduce turnover and

    maintain high employee satisfaction. Administrator Doneux emphasized that staff structure beyond establishing

    the Monitoring, Research and Maintenance Division is not known and the organizational structure is something

    that will need to be regularly reviewed and evolve overtime with District programs, projects and staffing

    requirements.

    This plan has been reviewed with the Personnel Committee and the Board of Managers. Administrator Doneux

    recommend the Board of Managers create and establishes the Division of Monitoring, Research and

    Maintenance. He also recommended that the Board of Managers regularly evaluate the Districts staff structure to ensure an efficient and effective structure that harnesses staff skills, abilities and professional development

    goals.

    D) AR: Approve Program Manager III Position (Doneux)

  • Our Mission is to protect, manage and improve the water resources of Capitol Region Watershed District

    Currently the District does not have a Program Manger III position. Administrator Doneux drafted a position

    description and has reviewed it with the Personnel Committee. The Primary Objective of this position is to

    manage the Monitoring, Research and Maintenance Division. In addition, this position will perform skilled to

    highly skilled duties providing water resource management, protection and planning as it relates to the

    implementation of Districts Watershed Management Plan and annual work plan. The Program Manager coordinates the implementation of their Divisions area of responsibility within the Districts Watershed Management Plan. Major areas of accountability and essential job functions include: program and project

    Management, Fiscal management and employee supervision.

    In addition to creating the Program Manager III position, Adminstrator Doneux is requesting Board approval to

    promote Bob Fossum into this position. Bob Fossum has been with the District since 2004 and has been

    instrumental in implementing many major projects and programs with the District including, Rules, the 2010

    Watershed Management Plan and the Arlington Pascal project. Most recently Bob Fossum has brought his

    leadership and management skills to help stabilize the Monitoring and BMP Maintenance programs of the

    District after significant staff turnover.

    In accordance with the District Salary Administration Policy, the Personnel Committee must approve any

    change in Grade for an existing employee. The Personnel Committee has met and supports this promotion and

    is seeking Board Approval of this action.

    E) AR: Approve 2014 Employee Health Insurance Program (Doneux)

    Administrator Doneux reviewed that since 2003, Bearence (formally TC Fields) has provided insurance to the

    District. During late 2011 the District looked at other options for benefits for employees. Staff worked with

    Bearence to review and determine a new benefits package with the goal of attempting to meet the following

    objectives:

    1. Realize a cost savings for the District and District employees. 2. Obtain similar benefit coverages to those currently available to District employees through Ramsey

    County.

    The District has purchased health benefit package from Health Partners through Bearance for 2012 and 2013.

    The District purchased dental and other ancillary coverages (Life, Short Term and Long Term Disability) from Ramsey County. The District is now ready to take the next step and obtain all benefit coverage through

    Bearance.

    Staff has obtained benefit quotes from Bearance for health, dental and ancillary coverages. Bearance obtains

    quotes from at least three vendors when soliciting benefit quotes. Staff has reviewed potential changes to the benefits with the Employee Committee (Managers Texer and Collins).

  • Our Mission is to protect, manage and improve the water resources of Capitol Region Watershed District

    Motion 13-208: Approve the 2014 Employee Benefit Program as follows:

    1) Effective January 1, 2014, the District move all employee benefit programs from Ramsey County to those offered through the Districts Insurance Company, the Bearence Management Group.

    2) The District requires a monthly employee contribution of $40.00 for single, $80.00 for Single Plus One and $120.00 for Family health insurance, effective December 1, 2013.

    3) The District requires a monthly employee contribution of $10.00 for single, $20.00 for Single Plus One and $40.00 for Family dental insurance, effective January 1, 2013.

    4) The District will continue to provide ancillary employee benefits including life, short term disability and long term disability insurance. These programs and the employee/District contributions will be consistent

    to those offered by Ramsey County. The District will continue to provide Life Insurance and Long Term

    Disability coverage consistent with the Ramsey County Program and allow employees to purchase

    additional coverage at their cost.

    5) The District provide payroll deductions and employee contributions to Health Care Flexible Spending Accounts and Dependent Care Spending Accounts.

    F) AR: Approve MAWD Resolution (Doneux)

    Administrator Doneux and Board Members shared interest in improving the planning and communication from

    Minnesota Association of Watershed Districts (MAWD) that helps support MAWDs lobbyist. A resolution has been drafted by Mary Texer for the MAWD Board to adopt. Manager Texer reviewed the draft resolution

    the Minnesota Association of Watershed Districts (MAWD) has a vested public interest in the activities of the

    laws and rules of the Minnesota State Legislature and Administration. MAWD had engaged the lobbying

    services of Ray Bohn to advance the Associations legislative agenda. Individual Watershed Districts can fully support the Associations legislative agenda only if they are fully informed about the ongoing legislative process. Social media has become a powerful tool that can include both individuals and organizations from

    around the state to keep them immediately informed of legislative activities. A resolution was proposed that the

    MAWD Board adopt and communicate to the membership no later than the third Tuesday in January each year

    a well articulated legislative agenda and lobbying activities and processes that include the following:

    A structured inclusive approach to legislative lobbying that promotes active participation by the Watershed Districts, their staff and boards;

    Key talking points for the Watershed Districts, their staff and boards that engage legislators and advance the legislative agenda;

    A comprehensive social media strategy that informs and calls people to action in support of the legislative agenda.

    VI. Unfinished Business

    A. Inspiring Communities Program Update (Eleria and Castro)

  • Our Mission is to protect, manage and improve the water resources of Capitol Region Watershed District

    Ms. Eleria reviewed the partnership CRWD has partnered with the City of Saint Pauls Planning and Economic Development (PED) Department since August 2011 on creating water-friendly landscapes at single-family

    residential properties that the City is acquiring and redeveloping through its Neighborhood Stabilization

    Program (NSP). For each NSP property, CRWD has prepared a landscape plan that includes stormwater

    BMP(s) (i.e., rain gardens, swales, etc.) to provide proper drainage away from the property, minimize

    stormwater runoff from the property, enhance the propertys aesthetics and improve water quality of the Mississippi River.

    The Neighborhood Stabilization Program, now called Inspiring Communities Program has been undergoing

    some changes. Up to now, CRWD has been working directly with the City of St. Paul, and they have been

    implementing many of the rehabilitation of vacant single family buildings over the last couple of years. Moving

    forward, the program is shifting to a developer driven model that allocates property and subsidy through an

    open bid process to developers. To that end, the City released and RFP in early October with around 77

    properties, which includes a mix of owner occupied and rental, as well as vacant building rehabs and new

    construction.

    In this new format, the developer is ultimately responsible for initiating work with CRWD. The enhancement

    of the RFP properties to achieve water quality benefits is still a requirement of the program, however,

    developers are not required to work with CRWD. Nevertheless, CRWD will continue to offer a free landscape

    design and rebates, generally ranging from $500 - $1,000, for the installation of rain gardens. In cases where

    CRWD identifies a unique opportunity for the installation of other management practice, higher rebates could

    be considered.

    DATE: November 13th

    , 2013

    TO: CRWD Board of Managers

    FROM: Nate Zwonitzer, Urban BMP Specialist

    RE: 2014 Special Grant Program Update

    Background

    In September 2013 the Board of Managers awarded $510,000 in Special Grant funds. An additional

    $50,000 was left unallocated to use as contingency funds. To provided needed match funds for a CWF

    grant application for Central High School, $30,000 of those contingency funds were allocated to that

    project leaving $20,000 in contingency funds.

    Issues

    There are two Special Grant projects requiring an update, and a new project (Dellwood Gardens) that

    may be a good candidate for grant funds.

    1. Episcopal Homes: In early November, CRWD was notified by Episcopal Homes that they were withdrawing their grant request of $60,000 due to an expedited construction schedule. These

    funds were added to the contingency funds. Changes are reflected in the attached table.

    2. Lowertown Ballpark: St. Paul is in discussions with Metropolitan Council regarding directing roof runoff from the Green Line Operation and Maintenance Facility (OMF) to the ballpark for

    reuse. OMF is adjacent to the ballpark site and approximately 2 acres of the 4 acre roof could be

    redirected to the ballpark. This could result in considerable reductions to runoff and potable

    water use, but will likely carry considerable cost due to the increased need for storage. The

    ballpark design process is in high gear so quick decisions may be needed in order to take

    advantage of opportunities as they are identified.

    3. Dellwood Gardens: Dellwood Gardens approached Capitol Region Watershed District about

    collaborating on a stormwater re-use system utilizing roof runoff for irrigation and potentially

    flushing toilets. The building is currently being renovated as an assisted living facility that will

    serve low-income, urban populations. The building owners goal is to reduce potable water use for irrigation and toilets so funds can be redirected to providing services for residents. To support

    the effort and help with planning, CRWD has requested assistance from several consulting firms

    with experience in the area of stormwater reuse systems to explore and analyze reuse options.

    Action Requested

    None.

    DATE: November 14, 2013 TO: CRWD Board of Managers FROM: Anna Eleria, Water Resource Project Manager RE: TBI Realignment Project Recap

    Background The first phase of the TBI Realignment Project at Station 53+08.5 to Station 60+48.6 was completed in Fall 2012. Phase I activities included installation of 162 feet of 12x9 box culvert beneath BNSF railroad tracks within 30-hour work window, installation of an additional 400 feet of box culvert outside of BNSF ROW, construction of City sanitary sewer line and manholes, dewatering of construction area and pumping groundwater to TBI, and removal and disposal of contaminated soil. Issues The second phase of the project commenced in August 2013 after MnDOT removed the existing Mississippi Street bridge and was completed in early November 2013. Phase II activities included dewatering the construction area, diverting baseflows and stormwater flows from the TBI section upstream of construction area to TBI section downstream of that area, installing the remaining 236 feet of new box culvert, constructing transition sections between the existing and new TBI, and abandoning the old TBI alignment. CRWD and Barr Engineering staff will provide a summary of the completed project including an updated budget at the Board meeting. Action Requested None, for your information.
